Senior Account Manager
Job Summary
The Senior Account Manager is a relationship-driven, technically fluent professional who leads a portfolio of strategic clients through the full product realization journey — from initial discovery to production delivery. This role is embedded in a cross-functional “solutions pod” alongside an Applications Engineer and Inside Sales/Customer Service support, with full accountability for client satisfaction, quoting accuracy, and revenue growth within key accounts.
This is not a “hand-off” role. The Senior Account Manager acts as the central point of contact — driving discovery, shaping the solution, and guiding execution — all while aligning technical feasibility, business goals, and manufacturing constraints.
What Success Looks Like
- Your clients trust you, reengage often, and view DI Labs as a strategic partner.
- You collaborate well with your pod (Application Engineer + CSR) to deliver on-time, manufacturable solutions.
- You grow existing accounts through strategic insight, not transactional discounts.
- You help reduce friction — internally and externally.
Responsibilities
Account Leadership & Relationship Management
- Own 10–15 high-value client relationships across medical, industrial, and emerging markets.
- Lead recurring client check-ins, discovery sessions, and periodic business reviews.
- Maintain client health metrics and proactively manage relationships.
- Translate client business objectives into DI Labs solutions — emphasizing consultative selling over transactional quoting.
Technical Sales & Opportunity Development
- Collaborate with Applications Engineers to quote and validate manufacturability of parts.
- Understand additive materials, design-for-AM constraints, and processing tradeoffs well enough to communicate confidently with engineers.
- Qualify and scope opportunities to prioritize those aligned with DI Labs' capabilities and scale strategy.
- Identify opportunities for upsell, volume growth, or expanded services with existing accounts.
Internal Collaboration & Project Oversight
- Serve as the internal advocate for the customer across production, engineering, and operations teams.
- Participate in new project kickoffs and lead resolution of client issues or complaints.
- Partner with Inside Sales/CSR to streamline quoting, CRM, and workflow management.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in client relationship or account management roles, preferably in a manufacturing, technical sales, or product development setting.
- Demonstrated success managing complex customer relationships with multiple stakeholders.
- Proven ability to grasp technical details and translate between engineers and non-technical buyers.
- Strong interpersonal communication, follow-through, and client advocacy skills.
- CRM fluency and quoting process experience.
- Strong problem-solving and solution-oriented mindset
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, or contract manufacturing services.
- Experience working directly with engineers, product managers, or technical buyers.
- Knowledge of materials, DFAM principles, and production workflows in AM or related technologies.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related technical/commercial field.
